Dabei handelt es sich um eine sprachtypologische Datenbank:
The Areal Typology of Languages of the Americas (ATLAs) is a database of typological features targeting areal linguistic structures in North and South America, collected from language descriptions by a team of 21 authors.
ATLAs was first published in 2025 in Scientific Data. We periodically publish corrections, and thus any citation of the ATLAs data should include a link to the version used, as listed on Zenodo.
The language sample of ATLAs includes 325 languages, of which 115 are in North America and 105 in South America. Their geographic distribution and family affiliation can be seen in the map below.
Die in ATLAs verzeichneten Sprachen sind auf dieser Überblickskarte zu sehen:
Wie man ATLAs nutzt:
ATLAs online requires a browser with Javascript enabled.
Data in ATLAs is organized into feature sets, which cover a typological domain or theme, and each feature set includes multiple features. Feature set descriptions provide lists of associated features, their linguistic motivation, coding methodology, and results, and can be accessed through the tab „Feature Sets“ in the navigation bar. Alternatively, features can be accessed directly, without going through feature sets description, in the „Features“ tab of the same navigation bar.
You can also browse and search for languages through the tab „Languages“ on the navigation bar. Here, features can be viewed collectively for individual languages.
The contributors to the database are given in the „Contributors“ tab, which associates individual authors and contributors with particular feature sets.
Finally, you can search for references through the „References“ tab.
Die Datenbank wird gehostet vom Schweizer Nationalen Forschungsschwerpunkt (NFS) „Evolving Language“.
